Furthermore, ACWA Power’s subsidiary NOMAC Limited, has also completed the sale of its 100% stake in NOMAC Bulgaria, a company providing Operations & Maintenance (O&M) services to the ACWA Power Karad plant, to Enery Development GmbH for an undisclosed consideration.
Both transactions follow the signing of a binding agreement back in December 2019 and constitute the largest brownfield PV deal in Bulgaria to date.
